Getting to South Greenland
Air and Sea Connections

To reach South Greenland from Europe you can fly direct from Copenhagen to the international airport at Narsarsuaq during the summer months. From North America there is a regular service to Narsarsuaq from Ottawa, via Greenland's other international airport at Kangerlussuaq (Sondre Stromfjord). From Narsarsuaq one then takes a helicopter to any of South Greenland's towns. The duration of the helicopter flights vary from just 15 minutes to Narsaq to 1 hour and 45 minutes over the ice-cap to Paamiut.

There are no passenger ships to Greenland from Europe or North America, although once you are here the most economical way to get around is by boat. During the summer months there are scheduled local boat connections between all of South Greenland's towns and settlements.

For air and boat timetables and for booking information, please contact Greenland Travel.
